Changemakers
Activists, researchers, journalists, artists and policymakers from around the globe explore robust alternatives to the world we know. They are united in a belief that we can achieve economic and social equity through bold, imaginative responses to the problems we face.
Our changemakers are drawn from the Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity programme based at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science. They address inequality in a range of areas, including housing, labour, tax justice, LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights and Indigenous people’s rights.
